Four months after part demolition of gospel musician, Yinka Ayefele’s Fresh FM Music House, the Oyo State government has completed the reconstruction.
Ayefele disclosed this on Instagram on Wednesday when he appreciated governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, for rebuilding his radio station.
Ayefele wrote:
“Thank you Gov. Ajimobi,”
“The management and staff of Yinka Ayefele Limited is using this medium to thank his Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi for rebuilding the music house. We appreciate you so much sir.”
The radio station, which was said to be valued at N800 million was partly demolished for alleged violation of urban and physical planning laws of the state, in August 2018.
Although Ayefele denied breaking the law, the state government denied receipts of any court injunction restraining them from demolishing the house.
According to Ayefele, the structure, which also housed his radio station and music studio, represented 20 years of his hard work.
The case received wide publicity and fans of the singer pleaded for the government’s assistance in rebuilding the structure as the demolition was ‘unfair’.
The Oyo State government heeded to the calls and in November 2018, began rebuilding the Music House with the hope of completing before the end of 2018.
